I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess that it's ROTATIONAL horse power.

For a more comprehensive answer, fill out the following form completely and affix firmly to your rear window:

That's the beauty of my solution. You can place the rpm anywhere you want and rev to the moon.

You will likely find that any serious automotive forum that's not peppered with hondas sporting exaggerated dyno results for vtech, nightmarish rear end spoilers (on front wheel drive cars no less), and under-glow kits, don't take these kinds of questions seriously.

Every combination is different. Change one thing and the results go out the window, have the AFR off a little bit, and power and torque curves skew dramatically. Take a 500 HP car and watch him get his ass smoked by someone pushing 300 at the wheels with a suspension that's done right.

So.... What kind of an answer WOULD you like?

I don't imagine that you've been to the dyno thread to look for similar combos to your own to see what those guys are making...

We got a guy running around this forum that's making 300 ish HP with E7 heads and stock intake and short block. No kidding. Will you ever make that with a similar combo? Probably not.

So when the one-million, seven-hundred forty-nine thousand, three-hundred sixty-third person comes in and says, "What's my HP" then perhaps you can understand that you're talking to CAR guys and not a bunch of people who stand around the Walmart parking lot with their Mom's grocery getter, wearing their hat on backwards, and their pants down below their asses.

The truth of the matter is that your HP doesn't matter unless you're starting with X and trying to get to Y and think that there might be a problem somewhere that's preventing that from happening.

We could all spout numbers out all day long. Wouldn't be any more correct than throwing darts at a board. What's more is that I could dyno your car at one location, drive it over to another and get a completely different number.

So there is my SERIOUS, non-sarcastic answer. It still doesn't answer the question you initially asked but perhaps.... just maybe.... It will assist you in better determining what questions to ask.

Previous responses were an attempt to keep things on the lighter side.

Ok,ok,I'm just a sensitive noob. Itza notch, it had a saleen wing on it, which I removed.good move?I thought it looked hideous.

I'm on the fence about Saleen wings on a notch. Some folks make them (with other exterior mods) look really good on the car while others just look like they're trying too hard.


With that, we'll return to our regularly scheduled bafoonery.


Oh... and post pics of your ride when you have the chance.
